How Tajikistan Is Building the World's Tallest Dam to Control a Mountain River

Описание: How Tajikistan Is Building the World's Tallest Dam to Control a Mountain River
In the heart of the Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan is executing the most ambitious civil engineering project of the 21st century: The Rogun Dam. Standing at a staggering 335 meters, this embankment dam will be the tallest on Earth, designed to withstand extreme seismic activity and tame the ferocious Vakhsh River.

In this 33-minute deep dive, QuitTech Process uncovers the technical secrets of the 700km tunnel networks, the massive 600MW turbines, and the 75-million cubic meter rockfill operation.

In this video, you will discover:

The geology of the Vakhsh River salt wedge and how engineers prevented a structural collapse.

The mechanics of the massive Lovat Tunnel Boring Machines.

How Tajikistan is using high-density rockfill to create a seismic-proof barrier.

Join QuitTech Process as we uncover the secrets behind this engineering marvel.
